As we start the process, I've become concerned about the whole support issue and whether or not I will need a co-sponsor and how that's handled for the Philippines.

I was living in the Philippines for about a year and half, where I met my wife. At the time I had taken a break from consulting to work on personal writing projects. Unfortunately, for that time frame there was no income, other than minor investments. Now that I'm back in the US, I've picked up with consulting again and am ready to send off the I-130. Starting this year, my salary will be magnitudes above poverty level, but I'm wondering how the income tax form from last year (the time off) is going to look to the officials there. Will they accept my current and projected income, or will I be required to get a co-sponsor? The frustrating thing is that my current income is significantly larger than anything a potential co-sponsor would be able to show.

Does anybody have insights about how this will be handled for the Philippines? Thanks in advance for feedback.
